A plain wool mitten in a clean silhouette is straightforward manufacturing - single material, no detailing, production-ready fast. The stronger brief is a fully constructed custom mitten with embroidery applied across the cuff or back panel, building in texture and brand identity at the factory level. Most brands we work with land on the elaborate end.
